As artists, educators, and advocates, we know that art matters, in all its various forms and expressions. From the first stroke of a brush on canvas to the last crescendo of a symphony, we know that art is an essential component of our humanity—how we relate to each other, how it can convey what inspires and troubles us, how it helps us grieve, pray, and make memories. For many of us, our art is our primary language through which we translate the world.
